  "account": "On December 13, 2023, Manoranjan D and Sagar Sharma broke into the Lok Sabha chamber during parliamentary proceedings in India's capital city, Delhi. The duo entered through the public gallery and released coloured smoke canisters, causing widespread panic among lawmakers and visitors. The incident prompted an immediate adjournment of the Lok Sabha proceedings. Special Judge Kiran Bansal of the Rouse Avenue courts denied bail to the men, citing the gravity of their actions and the threat they posed to the country's sovereignty and integrity. The court observed that the allegations against the accused were serious and warranted stringent bail restrictions under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The incident was deemed a conspiracy, with the group planning to disrupt Parliament to attract media attention. Manoranjan and Sharma played significant roles in the planning, including exploring Parliament's security arrangements and devising a method to enter the building using concealed smoke canisters in specially modified sports shoes.",
